This book is about Medusa and follows her story from birth to death, whilst jumping to the POV of Athena and an Ethiopian princess Andromeda.
I felt this book reads so well and I have learnt so much about the Greek gods from this story without feeling too lost. I found reading the perspective of multiple different women really interesting and the story itself is just heartbreaking. It's a book that's left me thinking about it with a little sinking feeling in my chest. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Medusas story, it's amazing to even comprehend why she's been viewed as a villain or monster for such a long time. Justice for Medusa!
